从碎片的高地母牛在伐木工人

In this instructable I show you how I used some wood from my scraps bin and an old cushion cover to create a cute Highland Cow - known in Scotland as a Heilan Coo!! Follow along and see how I made him, the full video of the creation is on YouTube and can be accessed from the link in this Instructable!

Supplies:

我用我的废料垃圾桶使用木材。一部分苏格兰榆木为他的脸 - 相当合适？！以及一些道格拉斯冷杉的身体。当我改变起居室的配色方案时，我有缓冲罩，不能与之分开，我很高兴我没有。我有一段我用于他的耳朵的废皮。我唯一没有打捞的是他的两只眼睛 - 我确实想着把它们从一个古老的泰迪中带走，而是决定这是一个太远的一步！

I started by making a tenon on the chunk of wood I would use for the body of the cow. The tenon is the section that allows you to hold the wood in a chuck on the wood lathe ready for you to form a shape.

一旦我把木头回合，我就可以开始削减奶牛身体所需的形状。

Now I have shaped the chunk of square wood to round, I begin to form the shape of the body. I wanted the cow to have a nice wide shoulder, so worked at it until the shape I wanted emerged.

当我打磨身体的形状时，是时候用头重复这个过程了。头部标有十字架，显着比身体更小，而且母猪将是一个卡通形象。

当我对头部的形状感到高兴时，我穿过粗犷的磨粒才能使它变得光滑，这一过程的最后一步是使用一些约克郡砂砾，伍德尔德使用的糊状物，在木材上获得光滑的饰面。。

现在我有身体和头部，时间钻入它们的洞（听起来很可怕！）洞是耳朵，眼睛的眼睛，眼睛后面的孔，然后在胶合时胶合在母牛身体部分的一个洞，但现在，我只是做一个干燥的测试合适。

现在开启了耳朵。

用废皮革，我用尖锐的耳朵标记了一个大耳朵的形状，然后切出来。

I dab some CA - superglue on the end of each ear, curl the ends slightly and grip them in a clamp to dry. Here you see the ears starting to take shape.

Now it's time to attach the fur.

在这一步中，我从旧的垫子封面中切出一段毛皮，这不可能更多的高地牛！当我剪出头部和身体部门时，我将它们带到新的高地空气中，并用喷涂粘合剂喷洒部分。预算范围胶水确实很好。

然后我围绕着身体和头部的毛皮 - 单独用手，用手小心地将边缘镶嵌到木头上，直到我对覆盖范围感到满意。

He really started looking like a cow at this point. I was getting pretty excited by now!

我大致勾勒出我想要的角的形状。然后，我将胶带卡到一块废木头然后喷涂胶卷在胶带顶部 - 这确保了一旦切割形状，模板容易用胶带剥离。

顶尖！（有些人将模板直接喷洒在木材上，但这使得凌乱的删除稍后）

Now I have my shape I take the wood over to the bandsaw and cut out the outline shape. You could do this with a hand coping saw easily enough.

I then peeled off the template and got to work forming the horn shapes by gently carving them with my Dremel rotary tool.

现在是时候从我钻了之前的洞中砍掉了毛皮的时候了，以便我可以在眼睛和耳朵里粘在一起。我用CA胶水粘在一起。

最后一步是使用AWL来发现我钻了钻孔的洞，现在在毛皮下，然后在颈部销钉和胶水中胶水。现在他完全组装，是时候见到他了！

So this is him, say a big hello to Angus the Highland Cow. This morning he was lumps of wood in the scrap bin and a fluffy old cushion cover - now, as a newbie woodturner and crafter, he's the cutest thing I have made so far!

I hope you love him as much as I do, he is going to need some brothers and sisters - I'd better get making!
